"Hi Guys! I&amp;#39;m Rebecca, an editor&amp;#8212;and bride-to-be--here at Glamour. (My wedding is February 26, 2011!) I&amp;#39;ll be blogging all about getting ready for the Big Day, but my latest task is choosing our wedding music, specifically our first dance song. I find myself constantly observing how people react to music--on their own iPods, in shops, at concerts, in cars and everywhere else. Music has so much to do with personal taste and phases of life. So I took a trip down memory lane where music played a part of my life, both good and bad, and here are some highlights:\nMy older sister and I bopping to Billy Joel&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;We Didn&amp;#39;t Start the Fire&amp;quot; (1989); my parent&amp;#39;s enjoyment of Anita Baker; my tween discovery of Z100 and staying up late to call in and request anything by Cyndi Lauper; my friends and I proudly reciting all the lyrics to Coolio&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Gangsta&amp;#39;s Paradise&amp;quot; (1995); and then there was the Spice Girls and of course Britney.\nPinterestFacebookAs these memories come together, I can&amp;#39;t help but think about the terrible dance moves associated with all of this music. And regardless of the song we end up choosing, I&amp;#39;ve come to very the serious conclusion that dance lessons are a must. My fiance might have two left feet on the dance floor, but I too could use a lesson from a seasoned professional.\nI hope that these lessons will will make us both more confident and graceful on the dance floor. But I also hope they help us select our first song. I can&amp;#39;t imagine learning moves for &amp;quot;I Gotta Feeling&amp;quot; by the Black Eyed Peas but I&amp;#39;m sure it&amp;#39;s been done for a first song! So here&amp;#39;s to finding my step! I&amp;#39;ll keep you posted on how the lessons and song selection are coming along.\n__\nAny tips or tales of pre-wedding dance lessons from any of you readers out there?
